Hi,
I bought this plant four years ago. It grew in a pot for the first two years (when it produced just 2 flowers, almost semi double and pale pink!), and last year was the first year into the ground.
It was a huge surprise for me to see its changes in just a couple of month. It is true that last year was a very special year and all my roses started to flower one month earlier than usually. In an ordinary year, they start flowering at the end of may-start of June. Starting with the first flower buds (mid April) I noticed some differences between them, regarding the color and shape. Then, when the flowers expand, the entire plant was covered with two types of flowers: some pink in the center and the others just creamy (on the same cane). My first explanation was the temperature: the color is darker when the temperature is lower; but the pictures were taken in the same day! So, no conclusion....
From the other point of view, the color start to fade as the flower aged. You can see a flower when it starts to expand (pink), and then, after two or three weeks and after few heavy rains (creamy).
I checked the producer site

and I saw that the color description is "light cream more or less shaded with carmine pink".
